High Stakes PLO Legend Busto?

September 9, 2008

Cash Game Superstar ‘Zigmund’ Finally Broke?
The crazy pushes.  The insane calls.  The “go big or go home” mentality that he frequently showcases at the tables over at Full Tilt Poker.

We’ve all seen him play some of the best cash game players in the world at the highest stakes.

He’s won big….VERY BIG.

But now….well, it looks like he’s lost even bigger.

The person I’m referring to is none other than high stakes specialist Zigmund aka Ilari Sahamies, who is rumored to finally have gone completely busto.  According to many forum conversations on 2 plus 2 and P5’s, it looks as if the PLO legend’s bankroll may be in need of a dramatic replenishing.  On top of that, reports on official high stakes databases across the interwebs are showing he’s down over $2.5 million over the past few months.

Making the rumor mills swirl a bit faster was this recent chat transcript that showed Zigmund asking Phil Ivey for a possible loanament after he was felted by the Full Tilt Pro:

Ziigmund: y0
Ziigmund: can u lend me 200
Phil Ivey: only if u promise to take me out when i come over to europe lol
Ziigmund: ok
Ziigmund: thats cool
